Multi benchmarking

We anticipate that continued development of minimalist models, in conjunction with more efficient multi-reference approaches and a wider array of benchmark curves, will result in a better understanding of the theoretical challenges of bond breaking processes and increased ability of electronic structure theory to model them. 

The second contribution spans an even larger range of length and times scales. Two benchmark examples illustrate the design approach polymer electrolyte fuel cells and hard disk drive (HDD) systems. In the current HDDs, the read/write head flies about 6.5 nm above the surface via the air bearing design. Multi-scale modeling tools include quantum mechanical (i.e., density functional theory (DFT)), atomistic (i.e., Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD)), mesoscopic (i.e., dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and lattice Boltzmann method (LBM)), and macroscopic (i.e., LBM, computational fluid mechanics, and system optimization) levels. 

As an acknowledged authority on carbohydrate chemistry over several decades, Gerald accepted the responsibility to review areas of his expertise, and he wrote extensively for Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry, Annual Reports on the Progress of Chemistry, Annual Review of Biochemistry, Pure and Applied Chemistry and several other reviewing journals and symposia proceedings. He served for more than 30 years on the Editorial Board of Carbohydrate Research since its inception in 1965, and his multi-author, three volume text The Polysaccharides, completed in 1985 for Academic Press, remains a benchmark publication in the field.

It is noteworthy that the JG operator has also been successfully incorporated into a Multi-objective Simulated Annealing technique (Sankararao and Gupta, 2007 see Chapter 4 in this book). The performance assessment of this algorithm was done on three well-known test (benchmark) problems commonly used in the evolutionary MOO field. This algorithm was then employed for the MOO of an industrial fluidized-bed catalytic cracking unit.
